Introduction
I am Amber Lovato, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a deep-rooted passion for mental health and well-being. Growing up in an environment that did not prioritize mental health, I have made it my mission to teach others about its importance. With extensive experience working with diverse populations, including children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, and those struggling with addiction, I am dedicated to fostering a safe and nurturing environment where individuals of all ages can feel seen, heard, and supported.
My therapy style is grounded in evidence-based approaches, primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which allows individuals to reframe their thoughts and empower themselves. I also incorporate mindfulness and grounding techniques to help clients connect with the present moment and develop a greater sense of self-awareness. Drawing from empowerment and strengths-based theories, I strive to establish a strong therapeutic alliance that promotes growth, healing, and the development of healthy coping skills.
What sets me apart is my confidence and openness to learning. I believe in the power of continuous growth and staying informed about the latest advancements in the field. Additionally, my personal life experiences have given me a profound appreciation for the interconnectedness of mental, physical, and spiritual health.
